Smart Telemedicine Program at Gertrude's Children's Hospital
Accessible healthcare is not a luxury that all people have– especially those in rural communities. In 2020, Kenya had a ratio of 26 physicians per 100,000 people, and the numbers haven’t improved that much today.

THE CHALLENGE:
Facilitating healthcare for the 72% of Kenyans who live outside of urban areas and face long journeys to seek care in a health system that’s already buckling from overcrowded hospitals and healthcare worker scarcity.

THE APPROACH:
Leverage telemedicine technology for remote clinical exams that are as close to in-person care as possible for pediatric patients.
THE OUTCOME:
Faster, more accurate diagnosis and treatment to improve community health.
